I booked the place because the reviews spoke about David's helpfulness and kindness. Maybe he didn't like our group. At 07.45 he sent me the following note: "Please ask your group to come to the breakfast. But remember to pack your stuff and leave rooms around 9". This although check-out time is 10.00. The place had also not been cleaned and dusted. In front of the one bathroom was a dirty Ethiopian Air blanket which served as a mat.

Cheap accommodation with free breakfast

The family was amazing. All of them are so kind. The room was perfect, I slept very well. David is more than helpful. It's amazing how much he knows and shares everything with you. I am very thankful! The room was as cool as it can get in this heat I get ;)

The only thing I didn't like was noise from the street but it didn't affect our sleep.

The room was comfortable and most importantly clean, and the staff were friendly. They helped us book a trip to Abu Simbel which was really good and much cheaper compaing to other tour operators. The location is a bit further from city center but it was really easy to catch minibuses to get there, and David helped us a lot when we had any questions. This hostel is is a great value for money.

Beds are what you pay for. It is a cheap place.

David was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Helped us with pricing and was easily reached via WhatsApp when we were in town and needed help. He booked abu simbel tour. Very cheap. Good kitchen and lounge. The beds are what you pay for. Washing was free and a packed breakfast in the morning of breads and cakes.

A little more maintenance, but overall, it was very good for the price we paid. David compensates all.

David, 20*. I wish we could see more people like him, not only in Egypt but everywhere.

David is very kind and helpful guest. After being scammed in Egypt so many times it is nice to come across someone like David who actually cared about his guests. His prices are very reasonable and the room was comfortable and quiet.

David, the owner is an extraordinary man, he helps you with everything. Even if the location is somewhat far from the city center, minibuses run all the time at a ridiculously low price, 2.5 Egyptian pounds per trip, and nearby you can find good quality and cheap street food. Stay at David Hostel!

Nothing to complain about!

Perfect for backpackers! Had everything we needed and David and his family took great care of us. David picked us up from the airport and also provided tours to see many attractions in Aswan as well as recommendations for food to try. Free breakfast and laundry was amazing too. Highly recommend!!

Good room with little balcony. Very quite neighbourhood. The commun areas are nice. You basicaly share a flat with one or two other rooms. David and his family are very helpful. Excellent value for the money! It's a bit far from the center but you can find super cheap public mini bus very often in the street or with a private tuk-tuk you're there in less than 10min and still very cheap.

The accommodation is fine and the services offered by the owner, David are great, the best we found in Aswan or even Egypt!! We booked the Abu Simbel trip, the Nile cruise and even the hot air balloon trip in Luxor with him and we were very pleased. We highly recommend David for this trips and even more if you are interested in.He will give you all the information you need and all at a very good price.

Nothing to add here , aye.

David and his family were great. Very helpful to arrange tours and answer questions. Large room. Clean. Price is affordable for backpackers and the quality is like a hotel. Location is the best for people who want to take it easy in aswan after so much movement around the country. 100% recommended without a doubt

The pillows were quite hard but we slept pretty well anyway and for the price it was very good.

Great location and lovely staff- David helped us organise taxis to different places and was very accommodating and helpful! Free breakfast was included and was very varied with lots of little pastries and sandwiches and a swiss roll type cake. He even packed this up for us when we had to leave early. We were in a 4 bed dorm and towels in were provided.

It might be the best hostel of quality price we have ever been to. David was very kind, he picked us up at the airport at night and even organized a tour to the Nubian Village for a very affordable price. Highly recommended!

The place is in a good location where you can shop for groceries and find one or two places to eat. The rooms themselves were not fancy but spacious, clean and sufficient for few nights of stay. Wifi was ok. David and his wife are great hosts. David took the extra effort to pick us up from the airport. He arranged for the early morning trip to Abu Sibmel temple and he dropped us off personally at the train station. Without his help it would have been tough to arrange for local transportation. Overall a great place to stay and great host. If you are on a budget travel and happen to be in Aswan then this is the place to stay. Definitely recommend this place!

This is a tricky one. Great online reviews hence the booking, however we were asked to leave the communal garden by the female host at midnight as a tour was booked to have breakfast at 3am ? Our door was abruptly knocked at 9am to let us know breakfast was ready. We expected to eat in the communal garden, only to find a carboard tray with several pieces of bread. No drink or tea. David the host was very approachable and welcoming. The female host however left us feeling unwelcome, treated us like children and frankly made us feel as though our stay and experience was secondary to the other guests/tours. The breakfast incident was clearly an attempt to rush us out from the room and very unprofessional. This is a shame because otherwise our stay could have been memorable. We wouldn't stay here again, and only hope we caught this experience on a bad day for the host. We travelled all across Egypt, and this was the only time we were made to feel unwelcome.

Great place to meet other travellers, room was clean and comfortable with close proximity to local shops.
